“”The women are supposed to be something very subtle, they have a subtle mystical power that drives men wild”
Shut the fuck up Bones stop hornyposting in front of the Captain”
“Jesus that outfit really leaves nothing to the imagination huh”
“Okay the crew of the enterprise kneeling once they saw Elaan got a laugh out of me but I’m not sure it was in the episodes favour”
“”Permission to speak was not given”
Who the fucks ship do you think this is Elaan you stuck up fuck”
“”Tolerate their arrogance”
Kirk must have far more patience than me lmao”

“Trelane is no longer the character I dislike the most”
“The Troyian looks about a femtometer from snapping and murdering literally everyone”
“”I did not give you permission to leave!”
“I didn’t ask for any”
She’s literally a fucking child oh my god this episode is so frustrating”
“Oh of course the Klingons have to get involved in this as well”
“”Her Glory has not summoned you!”
ITS. NOT. YOUR. FUCKING. SHIP!”
“Oh good, the Elasian women control men by crying on them, that’s not a dodgy stereotype at all”
“Okay but Kirk literally calls it an indoctrination, as much as the Elasians are cunts it does kinda feel like they’re forcing Elaan into something she doesn’t want”
“Kirk is enjoying controlling Elaan a little too much here ngl”
“Ummm… Did that Elasian just… Touch that guys face to death??? None of the actions there should have caused that reaction from the engineer”
“”Mr Spock, the women on your planet are logical. Yours is the only planet in the galaxy that can make that claim”
Okay come on now”
“”You are warned captain, never to touch me again”
“If I touch you again, your glory, it’ll be to administer an ancient earth custom called a spanking, a form of punishment administered to spoilt brats”
This really is Sexism-The Episode isn’t it?””
“”I don’t want everyone to hate me”
You really aren’t doing a good job of making that the case Elaan”
“Oh ffs she cried on him”
“NECK SNAPPED? THAT IS NOT WHAT HE DID TO HIM AT ALL WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS EPISODE”
“Okay the Elasian killing himself to keep his secret was a badass move, if a depressing one”
“BONES AND SPOCKS FACE WHEN THEY SEE KIRK KISSING ELAAN THO”
“Oh good, back to the random B plot about Klingons that doesn’t seem relevant to the rest of the episode”
“”Would you have me wearing my wedding dress for another man and you never see me again?”
Yes. Easily. Next question.”
“Oh fuck off the necklace is Dilithium, come on now that’s just lazy”
“The last 10 minutes or so of this are a really fun battle scenario, it’s just a shame I had to sit through 40 minutes of Elaans tantrums to get here”
“Wait, they… Put the necklace back together after using it to power the ship??? Okay sure whatever, there’s 3 minutes left I’ll accept anything at this point”
“”The antidote to a woman of Elas is a Starship. The Enterprise infected the captain long before Elaan did”
Stop implying Spirk isn’t real Spock, we all know it’s real”
“Well that was Elaan of Troyius. This is the first time I’ve felt an ounce of regret for taking on this project I hate this episode so much. Least favourite episode and it’s not even close”
